What is one thing everyone wants more of?

Nachos! No, wait, actually it’s time.

But we all want nachos too. That’s why today I’m sharing this sheet pan nachos recipe that is easy to make AND includes your slow cooker. Win win.

First, you have to get your groceries. When I’m short on time and don’t want to wait in long lines at the store, I order groceries from Peapod.

Peapod is the longest operating and the country’s leading Internet grocer. It was founded in 1989 and has delivered more than 40 million grocery orders. That’s a lot of groceries.

I love ordering from my computer and have also used the Peapod mobile app. I ordered all of the groceries for this recipe in the afternoon and they were delivered the following morning. How’s that for quick?

And, if you are short on time (like so many of us these days!) you can order Peapod Meal Kits, rotisserie chickens and prepared foods, or pre-cut veggies and specialty items.

Once you have ordered and received all of your groceries, get ready to make your nachos!

Sheet Pan Loaded Chicken Nachos

First, prepare your chicken. We are going to cook all of the chicken in the slow cooker – you can make it in the morning before you go to work or while you are cleaning and prepping other foods before guests arrive.

This slow cooker chicken is so flavorful and easy to make. Fire-roasted tomatoes, chipotle chilis and green chilis really give it great flavor and they make it the perfect meat for your nachos. This mixture has so much flavor that there is no need to add taco seasoning mix.

Once your chicken is done cooking, shred it with two forks and mix the chicken and the sauce really well.

Then pull out a large sheet pan and place some parchment paper on top of it. Pour tortilla chips in an even layer onto the pan. Sprinkle cheese on top of the chips and add black beans.  Then use a slotted spoon to put shredded chicken on top of the cheese.

Layer more cheese, black beans, and chicken on top. Place the sheet pan in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts.

Then pile on the toppings.

Seriously, pile them on because these are loaded nachos. Add avocado slices (or guacamole), jalapeños, green onion, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and anything else you like!

Ingredients

Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 7 ounce can chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 28 ounce can diced fire roasted tomatoes
  • 4 ounce can mild green chiles
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano

Loaded Nachos

  • 8 ounces of tortilla chips
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, drained
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

toppings

  • shredded lettuce
  • diced tomatoes
  • cilantro
  • jalapeno slices
  • avocado slices
  • sour cream

Instructions

  1. To make the chicken taco meat, place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Top the chicken with the chopped chipotle peppers and the adobo sauce. Cook on high for 2 1/2 hours.
  2. Use 2 forks to shred the chicken and return to slow cooker. Add the fire roasted tomatoes, green chiles, garlic, cumin and oregano to the slow cooker. Stir well. Cook on high for an additional 1 1/2 hours, until the liquid has been slightly absorbed by the chicken. Stir again and salt if desired.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  4. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Place the tortilla chips in an even layer on top of the pan. Top the chips with 1 cup of cheese and 1/2 of the beans. Use a slotted spoon to spread shredded chicken on top of the beans. Top the chicken with the remaining cheese and beans. Top the cheese and beans with more chicken.
  5. Place sheet pan in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. Top with any desired toppings and serve hot.

  14. I want to get a grocery delivery!! I love going to the store but usually, buy too many things! And I get stuck talking to a lot of people while I am there as we are in a small town and I know practically everyone! I would love to have these nachos while I am Netflix bingeing and avoiding the checkout lines at the market!
